I was a general
Of darkness and light
I was to be the major man
It was some kind of sight
I was going to stand alone
And do what was right
Now I`m just another stepping stone
A thief in the night
So where were all of those
Angels and priests
Who said they`d carry me
Beyond my beliefs
Where are all of them now
They`re gone from my sight
My mother and father deserted me
Like thieves in the night
Yes, where are all of them now
They`re gone from my side
My mother and father deserted me
Like thieves in the night
I was the water
I was the ocean king
I ruled the red sky
I could do anything
`Til you, you
You messed me up
You, you
You all messed me up
